I walked into Gamestop ready to preorder Watchdogs and Wolfenstein.....but couldn't

At least not Wolfenstein.

Watchdogs is fine....I saw the "PS2 graphical downgrade" which must not have been real b/c I've been seeing great looking gameplay videos and whatnot since then....so whatever...the game looks great and I'm getting it.

But Wolfenstein doesn't make me very excited.

This thread is asking if anyone else seems to have lost their love for id.

When RtCW came out...I played it a good bit. Then DOOM3...it was alright. Quake 4 was great imo....but it wasn't even made my id. Then RAGE. I played about an hour of RAGE today for the first time and I don't think I'll go back tot that game unless I have nothing else to play and I'm broke.....or really bored.

I was sorta excited...then I walked up to the counter at Gamestop....got out my money and said "Preorder Watchdogs and Wolfenstein for me pls".....looked at my money...and thought...I just don't see myself enjoying it.

The one for the last gen looked about as mediocre as it gets, though I've never played it.

Anyway...sucks...I want to want this game.

I was the opposite. Initially I was on the fence but after watching a 30 minute walkthrough I'm getting Wolfenstein.

I agree with you and I will be getting Wolfenstein instead. You can't trust Ubisoft that much and all this hype for Watch Dog with out much telling of the game nor its story. I don't think the game will be that much good as it happened with Infamous very short game and not worth 70 dollars. I have 80 dollars at Ebgames so I will get Wolfenstein for my PS4.

The last Wolfenstein game was a stinker, so I honestly don't get the hype around the new one. Taking a "wait and see' approach to it - and pretty much anything made/published by bethesda

Definitely getting Wolfenstein (and Watch Dogs).

Yep I finished it on evil and now I'm playing through again as good.

Still playing as evil, only 27% into the game. Can't stop messing around with the photo mode

Wolfenstein looks awesome! I'm up in the air about watch dogs.

Watch Dogs is a definite for me. Probably going to rent Wolf down the line when things are slow during the summer.

I got to play the demo of Wolfenstein at TGS back in September. Granted there is a long time between then and now, but me and my friend thought it wasn't anything special. It was just a standard FPS. Maybe they fixed some things and made it better, so people should try and keep realistic expectations. Don't put it up as the next Halo and you'll be golden.

Me too friend don't get me wrong. I have enjoyed Infamous but the game was missing so much and it wasn't suppose to be like this since they have been working on it over 2 years. No side quest or missions, short story, no boss fights, weak enemies big city useless to explore, nothing to do, no stunt challenges, blast shards easy to find and useless later at the game, and you reach the final boss within 3 hours if you don't move around the city.

No boss fights? You had two boss fights with Augustine and one junior boss early in the game after you get neon. So "no" boss fights is an exaggeration. And nothing to do is also an exaggeration. How about taking down the DUP strongholds to rid the sections of town of DUP control? (my favorite activity ) and collecting shards and painting murials? Photo mode? Paper trails? Showdown? Sounds like you just blazed through the main missions on a speed run.

I cannot make my mind up about Watch Dogs. I just don't think it's going to deliver so I'll wait for some reviews before I pick that up. As for Wolfenstein I feel a bit Wolfensteined out, but some of the comments in this thread are making me think again. Might go watch some videos on it.

Not trying to steer your decision, it might sound like I am, but I wouldn't rely on videos.

I thought by the looks of videos for the Thief reboot game that I would really like it...but it's just "ok".

I mean....it's a cool game to have for when you're bored, but it'll take me forever to finish it b/c it's just too slow. Theres no real meat tot the game.

Wolfenstein is very appealing to me but I'm taking a wait and see approach. I'm not as interested in watch dogs but I will consider it if overall reviews are positive. I like the open world and hacking aspect but there is something about it that doesn't get me hyped up. I might have to rent both before I purchase.

I don't call 2 boss fights are a lots. I have done all those mentioned stuff in hour and nothing was interesting about nor finding them hard. Painting poshhhhhhhh poshhhhhhhhh and done. You making them sound so hard and big to do them but they are not.

But you said there were NO boss fights. And there were 3 actually. As for your other gripes I would say its obvious that youre just not a fan of the series.

Did you even bother changing the difficulty? Either way, you definitely did not do everything mistercrow said in an hour...

Tbh, I did all that in under the first week. But I was trying to plat.

IMO, the game isn't necessarily short, but it's just so repetitive. The only side missions that were fun were the tape ones SPOILER:

that tell you about Curdun Cay and the possible info of a sequel

The rest was just busy work. Which made my final moments with the game bitter. I traded it in as soon as I got plat. Don't even think I'll ever really want to replay it. Not because of the story, but because of the repetitiveness of the side missions.

I'm gonna recommend that you go further on RAGE. Things get very fun pretty quickly. The story is ok but the missions get super fun and the gun play gets supreme. Mostly the game excels at gun play actually, and there are some fun gun/ammo combos to play with. Personally I think it's worth one play through, there is some fun stuff going on in the game with missions, mini games and such.

As for the topic itself, I've alwayd been good with Watch Dogs, I can't wait especially now given the recent media on it. I was dissapointed in the last Wolfenstein, and I LOVED the other Wolfie games before it. The new one looks good but since the last one bit me I'm going to wait to see what people on the boards say about it when they play.
